The story of the empress Elizabeth of Austria once again won the hearts of viewers and the Best Film award at the London Film Festival, according to Guardian.

“Corsage”, directed by her Marie Kreutzer“follows” Elisabeth, played by Vicky Krieps, just before she turns 40 in 1877. A beautiful woman who suffocates in the conventions of the Habsburg royal court and resorts to desperate revolutionary movements.

According to the festival’s jury chaired by producer Tanya Seghatchian, the film is “masterfully crafted” with a “poignant and original interpretation of the life of the Austrian empress Elisabeth”.

He adds: “The jury was mesmerized by Cripps’ exquisite performance as a woman trapped in her image and yearning for release.”

THE Marie Kreutzer dedicated the award to all the contributors who worked on the film. “The nice thing about my job is that I get to work with so many great creators and artists and create together day after day without knowing how it’s going to turn out…,” said the Austrian director.
